About: Hello! I'm Jessica, and I am a huge animal lover. I have 3 cats, a dog, a bird, a guinea pig and a few fish. I get along extra well with cats and pups, but I am willing to care for any animal! I have had one pup for most of my life and he is my best friend. I have lots of experience house and animal sitting for at least 4 different families. I can provide references for any of those jobs as well if requested. I also love taking pups for walks and going out for long play sessions! I am willing to work with any special instructions and promise great care all the time. Feel free to contact me with any questions! I am currently looking for a full time job - which means I have full availability! I am currently pet-watching full time and plan to make it my full focus. I always over-communicate to the best of my ability so if anything is different or changes, I keep everyone informed! I like to over-communicate so if there is anything I can do to make you feel safer while your pet is in my care, please let me know. I have previous dog-walking experience with a small company, and I carry my safety procedures with me from that. Of course, this varies depending on the pet, so I like to go over all of that with the parent before. I am a nervous pet parent myself and trust very few people with my babies. I take safety and trust very seriously. For me, there is no such thing as over-communication. Please, never feel like you are bothering me with communication about your pet. I love taking pet pics also so if you like those I can deliver!
“Nala had a wonderful time at daycare with Danielle when I had to go into the office a couple of days last week! She took her out for multiple walks during the day so Nala was nice & tired by the time I picked her up after work. Danielle responded to my messages quickly and I’m thankful she was flexible when my schedule changed.”
“Elizabeth was very nice, she updated me and sent me a pic of my puppy while she took care of him. It sounded like my pup Oso had a great time with her son Leo. I would book her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. At the age of 18 I started to watch family friends dogs in their homes while house sitting and they relied on me to keep everything going. I am currently a full time stay at home mom to twins we had a dog but it was older. We are not ready for another dog yet but I need doggies in my life. I have a large fenced in yard and an open house so your dog can run free. I am willing to crate your dog if needed or to your liking. My parents puppy loves to come visit if your dog loves play dates.
About: I minored in animal science in college, volunteered in various animal shelters, and worked on a farm. I have taken care of hamsters, turtles, birds, dogs, fish, cats, and horses. I have potty trained and obedience trained two of my own dogs. I currently work from home and take breaks with my dog. When I am not home, I usually watch my dog using cameras. We meet up with dog friends or go to the dog park 25 min away most weekends. I have a fenced in patio area where I usually chill with my dog. There are also fenced in outside dog play areas/parks in the apartment complex. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

Jessica O.Star Sitter
“Jessica will forever be our furbaby sitter! Jessica stayed at our ho me for a week with my Barnaby. I received pictures several times every day of how much fun they were having. Not only did Jessica take amazing care of our dog, she made my kids (4 and 9) smile when they missed him! When we returned home, our doggie was happy and healthy. My house was clean. Jessica didn't even eat the food I bought specifically for her. I am not exaggerating when I say Barnaby watched out the window for her for a few days after she left! It's easier to relax on vacation knowing everything is good at home.”
